In this study, we developed a scalable bioprocess using the insect cells-baculovirus expression vector system (IC-BEVS) to produce high-quality S protein, stabilized in its pre-fusion conformation, for inclusion in a virosome-based COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

Merck & Co. Licenses Protein Sciences’ Insect Cell Vaccine Production Platform
February 23, 2012

The PS platform uses engineered baculoviruses to generate recombinant proteins in the expresSF+ insect cell line. Protein Sciences claims the platform is fast, low cost, results in correctly folded and biologically active proteins, and is scalable to large volumes and high cell densities. The BEVS technology has already been applied to the development of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against infectious viruses, biodefense applications, cancer, and diabetes, as well as rAAV-based gene therapy products for lipid and CNS disorders, and biologics for wound/tissue repair, viral infections, and inflammatory diseases.
